was dcspBlred of. From iiiibchU illations, almost
always incidental to youna uioihers with their

sired to have, but var obliged to put up with a

could do no wronf in lier eves indeed, she
pampered me in nil my Drnorant foliles. To
Providence, in tue ftulM! of my stranger nurse,
I am indebted for a cheerful, happy life, atter
this first sad wont. For eight weiks I lay lin
gering near death, and ultimately recovered,
with a painful Indiilcrence to lite, o And a littlo
puny, wizened Infant vetretaflng upon milk diet,
while the sweetest reward of a mother wm de

Weeks pascd on With healing in their flight,
but nurse remained, at th earnest winh ot my
husband. She was not expensive to keep, and
she had that about her which enforced my
respect. When I became stroll? she urged,
with all respectful deference, but yet with lkni
ness, that I should walk dnilv, not merely
uroJl, but till the glow of health ran through
my veins.
One day, as she was dressing my boy, who
was yet verv delicate, she said:
This child should be one of prayer to you,

"Why so, nurse?"
"Pecause, ma'am, If vou had douo your duty
by him his littlo limbs would have been
stronger, and he wouldn't have been so frac

asked.
"Well, ma'am, I must speak out ; 'tis my duty
to do so when I see a young mother, healthy
and strong, have a baby like this."
"How can 1 help its sickliness? You know I
couldn't suckle it."
"No, vou could not, as it turned out; but you
tnii; iH, f you had done yourself and him justice
beiore he was born. I don't know whether you
were verv ill in the first four month, for some
strong people are, but in the lust you should
have taken daily exercise in the open air, and
never for a day missed it, wrf or dry; and you
shouldn't have eaten all .sorts ot lanolful trash
but kept vourselt to pure, wholesome food, for a
depraved appetite soon comes, and always affects
the temper ot both mother and child. I dare

"Yes, that was the ease; I suffered so much

"Yes. and so will this child: but he will owe

you will find it true, what I say. I fear you will

who is head nurse in an English f amily in Mu

made by a celebrated chemist for the use of his
motherless grandchild, and it succeeded so well
that the chemists there sell the malt flour and
the pota-h in packets ready made up But I
suppose I could get the Ingredients here."
bo saying, she handed me the following re

food.
bo It was tried, and with success, My boy
thrived well, and soon after, nursed being com
pelled to leave me, I was left sole manager of
an infant, with no notion "how to do it."
Atter nurse was paid, nothing was left ol my
hundred pounds. 1 had now only ray husband's
ualury of a hundred and eighty pouuda a year,
derived from a clerkship in a bank. What
seemed wealth before I was married just now
looked very like poverty.
Nurse's words had sunk deeply into my mind,
though I would not acknowledge it. She hud
attributed my child's pauy. irame anifretiui
temper to my idle sell-iudulatence before he was
born; and so I determined that 1 would oe ten
derly careful of my babe that he should havs
a mother's attention now, if he had suffered
lrom want ot it beiore he saw the light.
Nurse had always improvised a bed for him
beside hers. It was but two pillows placed in
two arm-chairs, with their teats lacing. She
hd insisted upon having new warm blankets,
and no sheet', for him to sleep in indeed, his
pillow wai covered with solt tlauncl. 1 saw all
thK certainly with a Bpecies of coutempt for
what I was tempted to think aliuoet uneanni
ways, which I altered as soon as she left.
The fiiM night after her departure my boy lay
in niv arms until we went to bed. it was a
novel'tv to have him entirely to ourselves. I could
not hug him enough; and in the exuberance of
my uulimued atlcction had almost lorgotten nis
supper, cooked bv our maid-servant in the
kitchen, which, when it came. ha1 a suspicious
blackness, and it was undeniably smoky. How
ever, babe can't taste that, I thought I but,
didn't he. though? The veil he set up was
piercing very suggestive ot pins and needles
all over him. Arthur fidgeted about while I
stuffed the child with as much food as I thought
necessary, which the little obstinate thins re
jected a moment atter, and would hive a per
verse attack ot hiccoughs ;'so that f had to place
him across my shoulder and beat his back, to

Now, thought 1, he shall lie in the refreshing
cool sheets. Five minutes only of this treatment
sufficed to drown our ears with his persistent
cries.
"What is the matter?"' Arthur pettishly ex
claimed. "Unfasten him, Mary; he must have
a Din slicking in him."
I sat up in bed, and he held the light while I
examined him. jno, mere was noming to cause

"Well," said he. "however puny his body may

tired frame, for my husband could not continue
to walk with it tbroueh the night.
As us teeth appeared, it tretiulness increased
to shrill scream?, which pierced one's brain like
a railway whistle. My husband, who had borne
so patiently for my satre, gave in at this.

"The doctor savs there Is nothing the matter

'It can't be all temper; the child must be in

thing to rub its gums with ?"
"I mould be afraid 10 use anyining "

Here the child's screams were almost beyond
bearing, so that Arthur snatched up his hat and
went. out. I was netting somewhat nardenea;

now, as 1 held him, I almost shook him. Glad
am I now that It was only "alniot."
"Please, ma'am, the lady, ma'am, from next
door thinks she can stop the baby's srreamin,"
said our untidy Susan, opening the door.
I looked round the littered apartment, not heed
ing my own disordered attire, and was going to
say that I could not see her, when one of the
sweetest faces lor an old lady I had ever seen
pret-enicd itself. I was prepared to encounter
the Mrs. Carter I knew, a gosMpiug ruuabout
body, but I was taken by surprise at this plea
sant vision of an old lady ot between sixty and
seventy. My confusion was manifest as I rose
from my low chuir, holding the still screaming
child, now almost convulsed, in my arms.
Blie quietly took hitu from me, saying, so
pleasantly:
"I am nped to children; you are not. I came
up yesterday to pay my ton and his wife a vtMr,
and I must confess that I had a sleepless night,
lor my room is contiguous to yours, and in these
thln-w ailed houses one hears everything,''
With the authority of knowledge, she handled
the child in a manner very different from mine,
lie, like a restive horse which knows its rider,
seemed to feel the difference, or elso was at that
moment exhausted. She put her finger inside
his mouth, which he heartily clenched.
"This Is rather serious," she said. "No won
der the child scream so. Has the doctor ever
examined bis gums?''
"Two mouths since he did, when ne said the
fretfulness proceeded from temper.-'
"But what about the screams ?"
"1 have not seen him since."
"If you will send for a little pure honey (an
ounce will do), and pet your chemist to put iu
it a teaspoontul of poppy syrup or rather I
will go for it myself."
She opened the blaukeis, and laid the child
carefully down, putting the corner of one over
his head. I said:
"Better let mo have him."
"Not for the world," she hastily replied. "He
has been too much iu the arms alreudy. Just
fancy," she said, smiling, "if you were racked
with the toothache bow you would lise to huve
your head bumped on somebody's knees, aud
twisted and turned in every direction. That
child feels as much as you would. May I ask
who Is your medical attendant? I will cail upon
him end say that his attention will be required
here."
I cave her the needed information, and saw
her depart with a feeliue of relief to which I had
been many a day a stranger, and, wonder ot
wonders, the child was quiet.
Mrs. Carter presently returned, saying that
the doctor would come in the evening, and with
her remedy we should do very well till he came.
The child still slept, and, oh! this interval of
peace, how precious it was! We entered into
conversation, during which my newly acquired
iriend insensibly led me to relate the details of
my infant's, management.
"You will know better in time," said she.
"And now 1 must leave you. If baby wakes do
not take him out ot his warm nest, but raise him
gently, not uncovering his head, and give him
a teaspoontul of castor-oil, then turn him gently
over on his other side, und uon't feed him tor an
hour afterwards."
"And what am I to do with the honey and
poppy syrup ?"
"Do nothing. I will take it away for fear of
mischief. The doctor will come in the eveuing
and lance his gums, which is really necessary,
from mismanagement. I do not aprove of this
operation, but tne child will nave convulsions
without it. When the doctor comes send tor
me, and by no means remove the child off the
bed, but keep it warm. I dare say the medicine
will cause it pain and it will cry: then alter its
position, sometimes raising the pillow with your
arm under it, and again lowering it; out don't
remove it from the blankets, not even to feed it.
Promise me that you will manage this.'
This I will thankfully promise, and offer a
thousand thanks for your kindnes.s."
It was. as it the child was aware his comforter
was going, for upon this he set up a scream
which pioniptly brought Jiirs. carter to his side.
The cry made me nervous aud fidpety, white she
was cool and collected, and merely tuined him
over on his other side. She then mixed a tea-
spooul'ul of oil with a little milk, put il into a
small clean bottle, and so patiently let it run
from the bottle into his mouth her arm under
the pillow lifting him. He hud nearly taken it
all before he discovered that it was other than
his usual lood; then the cry was teurful, but bis
determined friend patiently bore it, and imme
diately he ceased to cry she gave him the
r mainder, aud held him on the pillow till ait
danger of sickness ceased. Not Ion.? alter this
he fell asleep. Mrs. Caiter, on leaving, said:
"He is warm and comfortable; do not fuss
over him, but attend to his, requirements with
out taking mm in your arms."
The remainder of this dav was the most com- i
rortable I had passed lor many weeks. I beirau
to reason with myself upon the matter. Why
nau 1 not tne sense to reflect that carrvinc a
child in the arms to meet every drautrht was
likely to give it pain ? When I had suffered
from toothache, even the whikin:r of a cloth
increased my uironv. How much more with a
delicate inlaut must the oalu be doubled ! Mrs.
Carter came with the doctor in the eveninif-
The latter said, laughingly, as though he would

liabies shouldn't be nursed in the arms. Keep
them warm, feed them regularly regularly,
mind, not at one hour to-duy aud another to
morrow; they mustn't acquire the iireaular
hubits ot medical men so early; and, above all
things, keep down fever by giving a teaspoontul
now and then of castor oil."
Thus he went on, mingliuft covert reproof with
useful advice, busying himself meanwhile with
his horrid-looking lancets. White and trem
bling, I turned sick as I fancied the blood
already round the mouth of my darling.
"Dear me 1" the doctor exclaimed. "Ilefttn
your son's drawing-room my right case of in
struments. Would you, my deHr Mrs Vorton,
kindly go yourself for them ? I would ask Mr.
Carter to do eo, but I'm afraid her knee won't

Without a thought I went on the errand,
which kept young Mrs. Carter and myself
twenty minutes iu unBuccesslul search, when
husan came to say that the doctor had found
what he wanted in his coat-pocket. I histened
back to And that I had been ktndlv hoaxed, and
spared much distress. My boy was awake, und
evidently relieved and quleti I went to tske
him up; the doctor's warning finger was on my
arm as my husband entered the room. He
turned pi'le, and made scarcely more than one
stride from the door to the bed, when, seeing
the child awake and quiet, he turned round
with a gesture of inquiry, which the doctor
answered.
"All riMht, my dear sir. Your child will be
twice the boy by to-morrow, it we can keep hitn
out of Mrs. Norton' arms. He has been too
much cared for in one wav. ami rt nnnnah I11
another; but he'U do by-and-by. Where', bu

Tie sleeps with us," I hastened to reply.
"That'll never do never. What rest wiU
either you or Mr. Norton get? None none.
It's bad tor the child, too. I thonght nurse
Adams never allowed this sort of thing."
"Nor did she, doctor, but my w ife altered her
plnu of letting him sleep in a bed by himself."
"Ah, well, mustn't tell tales; we are all like
Adam, and blame our wives, from the first Adam
downwards. However, there's no great harm
doue yet. You've got a something to make a bed
of close to yours?"
"Eut as I am going to sleep in another room
it can make no difference." said my husband.
"Never do tbst, my dear sir: the child will be
quiet enonijli now, and I will look In to-morrow.
Mrs. Carter, I am sure, will manage for jou iu
some wav."
The doctor left, and Mrs. Carter tflrt manage

twice in the night, and whether he had a sleep

disturb us, and my nusnand s slumber was un
broken. Mrs. Carter came in the morning and
pronounced lavorabiy tor the patient. He cried
a littlo upon beiug wahed and dressed
laughingly said I thought her grave manner had
an effect upon bim.
"Itisauite true; from the moment a child
takes notice it should be taught by tne mother
to understand her ways and motions, and it
should never be capriciously treated fondled
and caressed at one moment, or treated harshly
the next. Children have more sense than you
. ., -
lningme."
"Hut surely a twelvemonth is old enough to
commence to biing them into order; they can
not understand before that age."
"You are mi. taken. A twelvemonth is iust
nine mouths too long. Au infant of three months
old knows quite well when U sees the mir e
tuke up Its food; it recognizes its mother from a
stranger, and Ib wise enough in much else. So
it y ou want to live in peace, and with the love
ol your child a love which should be life-long
rule it from its earliest infancy by gentle but
firm tones; and when it is old enough to under
stand words, never by entreaty or otherwise go
lrom your word once pledged, either to reward
or punish, even if your own judgment condemn
you in your spoken lesolvc. You mut guard
against hasty decisions, but teach your children
to obey without question.

a piece of orris-root from the chemist's, bore a

the ends round the child's wrist. The more the
child bits this ihe better for the gums, and the
more fragrance the root diUues. You will think
me very intrusive, dear Mrs. Norton," she con
tinned, "but I would do aay with a cotton bib,

medicine than other, but I never recommend

tolerate magnesia, unless ine child be upwards
of a year old. I recollect the case of my second
child, bdmund. He was brought to me one
morning vilh thetioint of his elbow very much
swollen. I instantly concluded that his nurse,
a girl of twenty, hud bruised the arm, or Win
upon it at nialii or twisted it in some way; this
she strenuously denied. We called in niedical
advice. The doctor was of the B'inia opinion;
she was therefore discharged. The arm was
bound up in splints, but it did not mend, and in
the cour.-e of a week the other arm swelled in
the same wav. The doctor then pronounced tho
disease to be scrotula, aud ordered sulphur
baths, and the child to be taken to the sea.
"The girl I summarily dismissed was recalled,
for I hud always louua her kind aud attentive,
and sbe never "neglected her chatpe. That very
day an old iriend culled on me one, bv-the-by,
who l:ad never had children. She examined the
arm, ana said, 'Give him a very small teaspoon
tul ol castor-oil nightly tor a week, which can
not hurt.' This a, done, and repeated at an
interval of a week, when both arms were well,
and the child was never attacked afterwards.
"Of course, my dear, you cannot be expected
to know much about children's ailments, or how
to trentthem, but every mother who dops suves
her husband's purse, and heisell a world ot
ansiety and uneasiness."'

flu-bed with a continuous stream of water for

that although the effluvia inlubtnot be percep
tible on the ground floor, yet odors, whether
difaereeable or fragrant, always ascend; and in
fants or invalids, while quietly slumbering iu
unconsciousness of the invisible foe, are breath
ing the vapors which may place them iu the
arm of death."
"Then, what cares a girl takes upou herself
when she mairies !"'
"No girl thinks oi thnt. She looks to have
herouway, to be petted, to have money to
spend and tine dresses to wear, and to parade
the accomplishments she may possess in parties
at home and abroad. Her first child is some
times tound in the way, und tin worry of her
tervants a perpetual blister, though the best
and most conscientious woman nowadays can
not emancipate herself from the latter infliction.
"All ibis was toreign to my purpose to have
entered upon, but somehow it arose out of the
children's ailment. But about weaning your
babe, when do you Intend it?"
"1 have never nur.-ed it; but children are
generally weaned at twelve mouths old, are
they not ?"
"I always fancied eight months long enough;
infants do not remember so long at this early
nee. But it depends upon the strength of con
stitution ot the mother; a child will suck disease
from a nckly mother at the expense of its own
! life; thcrelore, she must be the judge of the
mnnnr limn At tha nariivl in thn Huv ot n1iitlt

D uo n,eaos permitted to have too much. An
hour after thir, eive it a little food of ernel or
fine oatmeal boiled well in water, then sweet
ened ana cooled with lnnk. A change ot diet is
as necessary lor intauts as tor adults. Sifted
bread crumbs nicely boiled iu water, sweetened
and theu cooled with milk, and biscuits, sold tor
the purpose and soaked, are excellent, lie ware
ot sttillina the child with too much food ut oue
time, or by piving it too often. Every three
hours through the day a small quantity will
snflice, extending to K,ur hours in the eveuine,
lnsily leedin? it at ten, and auain at four in the
nioruinp. Children are early awake, but after
this, most infants will sleep ou till eight o'clock;
a small feeding will then sutlice beiore its morn

'How very quietly ray boy now sleeps! It
was fortunate, indeed, '.hat his fftims were
anced. I cannot mlliciently thank vou."
It was fortunate, or the child mnrht have
had convult-ions from the irritation. You must
pently rub his gums with your tluuer. The
honey will prevent boreuess irom iue ruooiue,
ana the porpy syrup will soothe. The lutter.
you tire aware, is a uarcotic. and. though valua

What is the reaeor. thai, for the lat ten
days or more, my darlinfr could never bear the
light? He always turned frettul It a caudle was
suddenly shown to him."
'This was the result of uneasy sensations, the
forerunners of a tit, and usually accompanied
bv sickness aud a ronnced staie of the bowels?
also drowsiness."
"Ah 1 he had not this symptom.''
"No; but lie had unquiet,, uneasy sleep, and
was very feverish. Fits are sad thlntrs for chil
drtn, aiid toere is more than one kind of con
vulsion. Sometimes a fit will come upon a pre
viously healthy child, and is the symptom ot
lever or measles or otner complaint comma on.
Then instant recourse should be had to a hot
bnth, and medical advice obtained. The brain
I always more or less affected bv fits, and
they ate beyond a mother's power to cure, or
eveu, in many m-tunces, to allevtat; the ex-
cef-wve pain ol teething, and sometimes worms,
will bring them on. The caues of itutinU'
dit-eas-es are uot tboroutdily uuuerstood. The
bruin is olieu the seat of the mLscbiet. Snne
have a frequent sick ues", which is oi'ti-u att.-i-
ntaea to a stomacn disordered from 1000: or
dr iik; but it is irritation of the nerves of the
stimach, which are allected by the brain, that
causes Ihe vomiting. A mother cannot cure
these ailment', or distinguish tueir or irin; but
she should be able to nurse her infant iu the
besfpot-sible manner, aud never, lor a moment,
delegate so sacred a duty to a servant's ha no-.
Mck tntanti are verv sin-centibie oi sound. A
child will start and cry out in its sleep it a sud
den noise startle it; therefore, by all means,
insist upon quiet. In all caees In every sick
room avoid w hi.-pcring, moving about In creak imr
pbocsor a rustlintf dress. Neer iideet anything
about, but at once put it iu the desired place.
Do not iueddie with the fire-irons, but pick up
and put on coal with the hinjere, if needed.
Keep a darkened, not a dark room. Do not
lnuttie up the patient, youna or old, with cur
tains; and let the face be always turned from
the wiudow or litht. Let the bedclothes be
liffht and warm as many blankets a needed
but banish all heavy coveriuys. Let the air of
tue room he kept at one temperature, reculated
bv u thermometer, at from UO to 70 de
grees. Bee that the windows do not rattle, nor
ihe door shut badly ; und there are a hundred
other lmle thiugs which a careiul nurcie will
heed.'1
"I hope my boy will never have fits. I think
I should t ie if I saw him so 9iilleiinij."
"That would beexceedinsly foolish, because a
tt nileht come on at any moment the etlort of
foti'e bidden disease to 'develop itself. Tue ap
pearance of smallpox is often preceded by a tit.
In my young days children were lrenurntly
umrkidwith this dreadful scotuge; indeed, I
had a brother who was nine days bliud with it.
Ihe sad disfigurement caused tohe face is oiteu
appalling. Should your child be visiiod by
such a calamity, I will give you a remedy I read
01 the other nay in a useful little work. Mix
du-solved trum-arabic with hon"v, and sutllclent
Ismp-tlack to blacken the whole mixture. Then
with a camel's hnir brush patnt over every pus
tule or spot. It is said to be the lieht which
aggravates the disease. This is a simp'e matter
to recollect as a treatment ireh cool air,
almost darknesB, and pioper medicines."
"I hope never to have such afflictions in my
fumily as the smallpox, or eveu diphtheria."
"A mother should bo prepared to meet this
last deadly foe. The remedy which Dr. Alluat,
of Frunt, prescribes is thlb:
'Take lour araolims (or a quarterof an onnoe) of
the chlorate of poiaaee, pour upon it pint ot boll
lug water, and ttir it weln then put it in a bottle
ud clofccly cork it. to be ready tor uae when needed.
Ibeuit abould be well shaken, and a toaapoonful
Le administered three times dally.
"The only way to meet dreaded and unavoida
ble evils U to be prepared for them. A know
ledge of how to treat a disease is halt its cure.
I hae loug overstaved my time, aud perhaps
weai led vou. Your boy will do veiv wall now.
Ho farewell, dear Mrs. Norton, till I py another
visit to my ou. ior 1 ienve imt afternoon."
